Motion TitleImpact of the 2024 Autumn Budget Statement

Motion TextThat this Assembly notes the Committee for Finance and the Committee for the Economy’s report on the impact of the Chancellor’s Autumn Budget statement on critical sectors, including business, community and voluntary and social enterprises; further notes that while the increases to the National Living and Minimum Wages are to be welcomed, their sudden nature, combined with the rise in employers’ National Insurance contributions and wider cost of living increases, creates an environment in which many businesses, social enterprises and community and voluntary organisations may, at best, struggle and, at worst, cease operations; and calls on the Executive to develop a co-ordinated response to this crisis led by the Minister of Finance and the Minister for the Economy.
